On 1 July, the Drastic project was represented at the Intercluster Conference Sustainable Construction in Barcelona, jointly organised by the Clúster de l'Energia Eficient de Catalunya and the Clúster de Materials Avançats de Catalunya, with the involvement of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

Welcome to the summer 2026 edition of the Drastic project newsletter. It’s been an exciting time of growth and development for Drastic, as it progresses through its penultimate year, continuing to propel varied and innovative solutions to reduce whole life carbon and the climate impact of European construction.

On 10 June 2026, partners Drastic's French Demonstrator came together to share insights and practical experiences on the reuse of removable partitions and ceiling tiles within renovation projects.

The Drastic project is excited to announce the latest phase of activity from its French Demonstrator: a circular office partition installation at project partner Clipper Coramine’s headquarters in Senlis, France.

Registrations are now open for the upcoming Drastic project’s French Demonstrator’s webinar on 10 June 2026, exploring how circular solutions can support office renovation projects through material reuse and whole life carbon reduction.

Drastic’s Spanish Demonstrator continues its mission to advance circular solutions for the construction sector, with a full-day event hosted at the North Campus of the School of Civil Engineering (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain on April 24.

The Drastic project is excited to announce the latest phase of activity from its French Demonstrator: a re-used ceiling tiles installation in Aubervilliers, Seine-Saint-Denis, France.

This paper evaluates the use of X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning and computational mechanics to assess the quality of reclaimed timber elements.

It’s been some time since we last heard from Drastic’s French contingent, but fear not, this Demonstrator has been busy working away behind the scenes with some exciting updates to be shared in the coming months! 

Sorigué explored how R&D&I can support the circular economy in construction at Smart City Expo World Congress 2025.
